The CSX Railroad will close the crossing in the 2000 block of Tremont Road just before it dead-ends into Telfair Road, as well as the crossing on Chevis Road. The crossings are scheduled to reopen about 8 a.m. Tuesday.

CSX asks motorists in the areas to follow detour signs and to expect travel times to increase in the area.

The detour for the Tremont Road crossing will be marked from Telfair Road to Gwinnett Street, then from Interstate 516 to Tremont Road. The detour for the Chevis Road crossing will be marked from U.S. 17 to Ga. 204 then to King George Boulevard and ending at Wild Heron Road.

The 13-week program, designed to allow residents to informally interact with members of the police department and the local criminal justice system, begins Feb. 7, said metro police spokesman Julian Miller. Class meets from 6:30-9:30 p.m. Thursdays at the department’s squad room at 201 Habersham St.

The deadline to apply is Friday.

Miller said participants will meet officers from each police unit who will explain what their jobs are and how they do them.

The program will include a tour of the 911 center, the Chatham County jail, firearms and tactical training, traffic stop role-playing and an opportunity to ride with a patrol officer.

To apply, visit a metro police precinct or call Gianna Nelson at 912-651-2246. Applications can also be found online at scmpd.org.

Registration is $10 and only checks or money orders will be accepted. Applications must be signed and notarized, and can be turned in at any precinct or the Police Barracks at the intersection of Habersham and Oglethorpe streets.
